The Mayfair Hotel is beautifully placed at a high point on the Isle Of Wight, which had stunning views (just a long, steep hill to reach it!) Check in time wasn't until 3pm and I knew that we would be on the Isle before that so pre-phoned the hotel to ask it was OK to leave our bags there earlier... More

Bullets on the Hotel: 1. Staff were worst 2. No proper facilities in the room- no heater, no hot water, unclean beds, towels 3. very unfriendly while serving breakfast 4. May -'unfair' will be better name. 5. Staff manipulated when we checked-in, to change the rooms we actually booked 6. we were able to hear noise from adjacent rooms.
